Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on Kamala Harris' plan for the economy, fracking in Pennsylvania

>>> PENNSYLVANIA IS A CRITICAL BATTLEGROUND STATE THIS YEAR IN 2020 THE DEMOCRATS NEARLY CARRIED THE STATE FOR JOINING US NOW IN THE BOOTH IS JOSH SHAPIRO. A TOUGH CONTENDER. HOW MANY VOTES? >> A LOT. 3 MILLION, OR SOMETHING. IT WAS A WHOLE LOT OF DEMOCRATS. ALSO, REPUBLICANS AND INDEPENDENTS. >> HOW HAS THE RACE CHANGE IN PENNSYLVANIA NOW THAT HARRIS IS AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET? >> IT IS STATISTICALLY A DEAD HEAT. IN PENNSYLVANIA, YOU CAN GET IT TO EVEN AT THE 49 YARD LINE. THE LAST YARD AND A HALF IS TOUGH TO PICK UP. GOOD NEWS, I THINK THAT KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM WALZ ARE POISED TO GET THE YARD AND A HALF. THEY ARE SHOWING UP TO COMMUNITIES THAT OFTEN TIMES ARE LEFT BEHIND. RIGHT BEFORE THEY CAME HERE, THEY WERE NOT IN PHILLY OR PITTSBURGH. THEY WERE IN BEAVER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. A RURAL CORNER OF THE SAVIOR TALKING ABOUT ECONOMIC CHALLENGES. THAT TELLS ME THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF GOING EVERYWHERE. >> ON THE QUESTION OF THE ISSUES, HOW DOES THE HARRIS/WALZ TICKET MAKE THE CASE IN YOUR STATE? >> DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW. MEETING FAMILIES WHERE THEY ARE. TALKING ABOUT REDUCING COSTS AND PROTECTING FREEDOMS. TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A FAIR SHOT. NO MATTER WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, WHO YOU LOVE, WHO YOU PRAY TO. REMINDING PENNSYLVANIANS OF THE CHAOS DONALD TRUMP BROUGHT WHEN HE HAD THE KEYS TO THE WHITE HOUSE BEFORE. AND THE WAYS IN WHICH HE RESTRICTED FREEDOMS. >> DON'T HAVE TO BE MORE SPECIFIC? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO BRING DOWN GROCERY PRICES? I AM STILL WORKING REALLY HARD AND HAVE LESS MONEY IN MY POCKET. >> I AGREE. THE DAY BEFORE THEY WERE IN NORTH CAROLINA TALKING ABOUT BRINGING DOWN THE COSTS. TALKING ABOUT CHILDCARE TAX CREDITS AND OTHER THINGS THAT PUT MONEY BACK INTO PEOPLE'S POCKETS. THE ONLY GOVERNOR IN THE NATION WITH A DIVIDED LEGISLATIVE. I HAVE CUT TAXES FOUR TIMES FOR SENIORS. FOR FAMILIES PREFER SMALL BUSINESSES, TWICE. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO PUT MONEY BACK INTO PEOPLE'S POCKETS. I THINK THIS TICKET UNDERSTAND THAT. SLICK I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BEAVER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. I WOULD LOVE TO GO. LET'S TAKE IT OUTSIDE OF PENNSYLVANIA. SO MANY DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENTS WERE OVER. NOT VOTING, NOTHING INSPIRES ME. WHAT DOES SHE NEED TO SAY TONIGHT TO REACH THOSE PEOPLE? >> I THINK IT IS CLEAR SHE HAS INJECTED REAL ENTHUSIASM IN THIS CAMPAIGN. SHE'S HELPING PEOPLE TO BE SEEN AND HELPING THEM BELONG. WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU BELONG, YOU ARE EXCITED TO VOTE. AND EXCITED TO PUT A SIGN ON YOUR LAWN. MAKING SURE YOUR KIDS GET OUT TO VOTE. IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE ENTHUSIASM AND JOY IN A CAMPAIGN. SHE HAS BROUGHT THAT. TONIGHT SPEECH WILL AND HAS IT. >> MY SAILOR SITS ON TOP OF THAT. FRACKING IS IMPORTANT TO YOUR STATE. HARRIS SAID THAT SHE IS FOR BANNING FRACKING. DONALD TRUMP WILL TALK ABOUT THAT. THAT GOES TO PEOPLES POCKETBOOKS. HOW DOES THAT NOT HURT THE CANDIDATE? >> I'M AND ALL OF THE ABOVE ENERGY GOVERNOR. WE ARE A NET ENERGY EXPORTER. WE HAVE BEEN A POWERHOUSE FOR GENERATIONS. NOT ONLY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR JOBS AND PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE, WE TAKE PRIDE IN THAT., HARRIS SAID THAT IN 2019. SHE SHOWED UP A BUNCH AND LISTENED AND MADE CLEAR THAT NOW SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE NATURAL GAS EXTRACTIONS FOR SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE TO HELP PENNSYLVANIA BE A LEADER WHEN IT COMES TO ENERGY PRODUCTION. I APPRECIATE THE FACT SHE LISTENED AND HER FACT -- >> WE WERE TALKING BEFORE YOU GOT HERE ABOUT DONALD TRUMP. >> YOU ARE TAKING UP A LOT OF SPACE IN HIS HEAD. >> WE LISTENED TO YOU LAST NIGHT. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO GO AFTER HIM. YOU WERE PRETTY EFFECTIVE, A SPOKESMAN FOR IDEAS AND ATTACK ON DONALD TRUMP. YOU ARE MORE ON YOUR VISION FOR THE COUNTRY. DONALD TRUMP IN A POST CLAIMS YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING FOR ISRAEL. YOU NEVER WILL. HE CALLED YOU A HIGHLY OVERRATED JEWISH GOVERNOR. >> WHEN YOU HEAR THAT ABOUT YOURSELF FROM HIM, WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> I DO NOT WANT TO MAKE LIGHT OF IT. HE WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. HE IS HUDDLING MORE ANTI- SEMITIC TROPES. PUTTING BIGOTRY INTO THE PUBLIC DISCOURSE. I DO NOT GET UPSET WHEN HE ATTACKED ME. A LOT OF FOLKS COME OVER TO ME AND TELL ME HOW IT MAKES THEM FEEL. HOW IT MAKES THEM FEEL THREATENED. THEY WORRIED ABOUT BELONGING. WHAT HE REALLY IS DOING IS SHOWING HE IS UNFIT TO BE A LEADER. WE WANT TO ELECT A LEADER TO BE THE PRESIDENT. SOMEONE WHO THINKS WE BELONG. WHEN I THINK ABOUT ELECTING A LEADER, I WANT SOMEONE WHO SHARES THE VALUES THAT I CHIDED TEACH MY KIDS EVERY DAY. HE IS DEVOID OF THOSE VALUES. HE BELIEVES HIS PATH TO SUCCESS IS SEPARATING PEOPLE. ATTACKING PEOPLE. IT DOESN'T UPSET ME BUT IT UPSETS AMERICAN PEOPLE. HE SHOWS THAT HE IS A WEAK MAN AND UNFIT. >> IN YOUR STATE WITH A LOT OF DONALD TRUMP SUPPORTERS. HOW DO YOU SAVE THINGS LIKE THAT AND NOT HAVE THOSE VOTERS SAY THAT SHE'S WRITING US OUT OF THE AMERICAN STORY? HOW DO YOU TAKE THE CASE WITHOUT COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO THE VOTERS WHO YOU ARE TRYING TO PICK UP? >> I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM A LOT OF REPUBLICANS IN PENNSYLVANIA. I WON ALL OF MY ELECTIONS. I SET A RECORD ON THE NUMBER OF VOTES. I ENJOY A LOT OF SUPPORT AMONGST PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY WILL GO TO THE POLLS AND VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP. I WOULD NEVER , EVER, AND SALT VOTER FOR MAKING A CHOICE THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN MINE. I WILL MAKE THE CASE AND SHOW UP IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND EXPLAIN WHY MY VISION OR KAMALA'S VISION IS BETTER , BUT I WILL NEVER PUT THEM DOWN. I WILL NEVER INSULT THEM. HARRIS WILL NOT DO THAT EITHER. SHE MET GOVERNOR SHAPIRO OF PENNSYLVANIA. GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.
